Educational Opportunity Giving Voice: Interpreting & Preserving Oral Histories Presented by the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts November 6, 2013 Philadelphia, PA Hosted and co-sponsored by: The Athenaeum of Philadelphia With countless advances made in audiovisual technology during the 20th century, libraries, archives, museums, and historical societies, as well as families and individuals, set out to capture the stories of the past through recordings. This oral history material was preserved using magnetic recording tapes, film, and digital formats-many now obsolete. While of great value and worthy of preservation, any oral history material in a collection should be considered at-risk until an institution conscientiously develops strategies to preserve it. This national conference, intended for archivists, librarians, collections managers, and any other collections staff working with oral histories, brings together noted historians and preservation experts to discuss best practices and methods for capturing and sharing oral histories. Topics include: *Best practices for collecting stories *Basic principles for managing oral histories within your repository *Strategies for preserving audiovisual materials *Access *Outreach and exhibition *Reaching and documenting underrepresented groups Speakers: George Blood President, George Blood Audio and Video Charles Hardy III Professor of History, West Chester University Bertram Lyons Folklife Specialist/Digital Assets Manager, Library of Congress American Folklife Center Joyce Hill Stoner Edward F. and Elizabeth Goodman Rosenberg Professor of Material Culture, University of Delaware (UD) Paintings Conservator, Winterthur/UD Program in Art Conservation Director, UD Preservation Studies Doctoral Program Sady Sullivan Director of Oral History, Brooklyn Historical Society Program Fees: $95 CCAHA members $110 Non-members More information about this program and online registration is available at http://www.cvent.com/d/scqhjy.
